Those who cry about inflation in India, just look at the rate list of essential goods in Pakistan.

Those who cry about inflation, let us tell them what is inflation. Those who claim that the economic condition is bad in India, let us tell them what is called bad economic condition. For this, just look at the figures of Pakistan. Petrol in Pakistan costs Rs 280 per litre, diesel Rs 200 per litre, kerosene oil Rs 200 per litre, domestic LPG gas cylinder costs Rs 3115, commercial cylinder costs Rs 11984. Apart from this, electricity per unit may be different in every area, but now the government of Pakistan has decided to impose surcharge of 3.23 paise per unit on electricity everywhere, due to which people have got a big shock. Apart from this, if you want a 10 kg flour sack, then you will get it only for Rs.3100. Similarly, the prices of many food items have gone up to Rs 1000 per kg. But the rates of the things we have told you now will be available only when they are available because Pakistan is currently facing severe food crisis, petrol-diesel shortage and electricity crisis. Also, since the value of Pakistani Rupee has reached its all-time low, the prices we have given you will turn out to be even higher.

Apart from this, the central bank of Pakistan has increased its key policy rate by three percent, due to which the lending rate has reached the highest level of 26 years i.e. 20 percent. That is, taking loan from the bank has become more expensive for the people in Pakistan who are engaged in seeking loans from other countries. Let us tell you that there is no money left to pay salaries to the government employees in Pakistan and private companies are also having to wind up their business and lay off because of the heavy fall in the Pakistani rupee, the companies are suffering a lot. Due to all this, the number of unemployed in Pakistan is increasing. Not only this, now Pakistan has also faced a shortage of medicines due to which there is chaos in the hospitals. In fact, Pakistan does not have foreign exchange reserves due to which it is not able to import medicines and medical equipment from outside. Let us tell you that Pakistan, which is facing economic crisis, has to take many tough decisions to get $ 1.1 billion help from the International Monetary Fund (IMF), due to which the burden on the public is increasing.

In addition, due to power cuts in Pakistan, the streets become dark since evening, shops and malls close by eight o’clock in the night, Nikah or other ceremonies are prohibited at night. Pakistani people are also worried that if this condition of power cut continues then what will be their condition in the summer season. Firstly, there is no electricity, and secondly, even if it is available, it has become so expensive that it has become difficult for the common man to bear the electricity bill.

Meanwhile, there are also reports that tensions between the Pakistan government and the military are rising over economic issues. It is being told that the government has cut the budget of the army, on which the officers of the army are infuriated. There are also reports in Rawalpindi that if the situation worsens, the army may intervene. But the army does not seem to be in a mood to do so at the moment because the army’s image has been tarnished in the country due to corruption allegations against several military officers, and the Pakistani army is also seeing that the government’s coffers are empty. Therefore, if it takes over the governance, it may become difficult because the IMF or other financial institutions give importance to the elected government for debt negotiations.

However, people in Pakistan are cursing their own government on media and social media and are appreciating India’s leadership. Pakistanis are saying that India handled the difficult situation well during the Corona epidemic and has currently emerged as a strong economic and military power in the world. Pakistani people are currently sharing the prices of petrol, diesel, gas and electricity in India through their social media accounts, praying that if the next time they are born in South Asia, that country should be India.
